@vivacoldplay The Airbus 340-600 is longer than a B747.. It is the longest passenger aircraft in the world.. But i think the new boeing 747-8 is about to set the length record :)
-
@vivacoldplay Yes... it has 186000 and the A340-300 have 136000... But look at the takeoff roll at MTOW?? A340-300 have a shorter run than MD11... If it was underpowered as you say,they would have changed the engines to more powerful after some buildt A340-300... because it would have been certified for commersial traffic if it was underpowered...

@ollo1982 The MD-11 is approximately the same size as the A340-300, but it has up to 150% the power of the A340 (MD-11 has 186000lbs of thrust) and a higher cruise speed, yet it still has about the same range as the A340-300? Does it carry more fuel or is it efficient as the A340-300 during flight?

@vivacoldplay Yes exactly... and you can see the lbf?? Much bigger you said?? and only 29000lbf more than a340-300 on the 747...thats pr engine... A340-5/600 pr engine = 248–260 kilonewtons (56,000–58,000 lbf) 260–275 kilonewtons (58,000–62,000 lbf) MTOW is 372,000 kilograms (820,000 lb)
HGW: 380,000 kilograms (840,000 lb) 368,000 kilograms (810,000 lb)
HGW: 380,000 kilograms (840,000 lb) T/O Roll at MTOW 3,050 metres (10,010 ft) 3,100 metres (10,200 ft)

@ollo1982 sorry but a 747-400 is MUCH bigger than an a340 so idk why you are comparing them

@MRFREAK177 On the last flight i was with SAS was from Frankfurt to Gardermoen. Service was not the best.. Service on Lufthansa was a HUGE class higher... Who charge almost 5 Euros for a sandwich?? yea,SAS do... and 3 freakin euros for a can of coca cola... thats ripoff! and 2 euros for a coffey... Most likely otherwise on long haul flights tho.. idk...
-
What airline have you been flying with? I have been flying with SAS tons of times and i never EVER have had bad service, they are all allways smiling and helpful and let me have a great time. While onboard.

GE 62,100 lbf (276 kN)RR 59,500/60,600 lbf (265/270 kN)
Take off run at MTOW (276 tons) 2,990 metres (9,810 ft)3,000 metres (9,800 ft) For A340-2/300. Engines produces 31,000–34,000 lbf.. Its not underpowered.

@vivacoldplay On route from Narita to Kastrup that A340-300 flyes almost 5000 nautical miles. On takeoff it burns a good amount of fuel due to extreme rpm from the engines. my guess is that it carryes at least 70 tons of fuel on take off,have over 200 passengers= 15 tons,and a good amount of cargo. making the plane weigh good over 200 tons. OFCOURSE IT IS A LONG TAKEOFF ROLE!!! A340-300 would NOT have been certified if it was underpowered.
-
@ollo1982 no not underpowered at all. Just took 10 seconds to rotate
The beauty of Scandinavia :D
